The equation is simple;
Illegal is Illegal, and Legal is Legal. Period.
Forget the stupid debate over a hypothetical person's individual quality; you can't make foolish generalizations about willingness, or unwillingness, to work about anybody.
The only valid and legitimate question is; Did an individual enter this country according to the Rule of Law, and thereby demonstrate thier respect for the laws of the country they wish to be a part of? Or, did the individual choose to ignore the legal opportunity, convince themselves that they are entitled to break the law, and enter this country without permission?
Disgust? Disgusting is being so reactionary, so simple-minded and so PC that you'd even defend criminal behavior, rather than accept that there are limits to everything in life.
How 'bout this: I DESERVE to be a wealthy man. I DESERVE it. I'm ENTITLED to it. And doing it the legal way is too difficult, too demeaning and there aren't enough opportunities for everyone who wants to be wealthy as well.
So, I'll be over to YOUR houese, to steal YOUR money, YOUR food, your car, your medicine and your job...'cause I deserve it. Besides, I hear you didn't want them anyway.
Now, that sounds perfectly fair, right?
Before anyone cries foul, and says that not all immigrants steal, I say I agree...legal immigrants don't, and usually work pretty hard as good citizens.
Illegal border-crashers steal by definition...nothing here belongs to them, and they have no right to TAKE what is not theirs.
Anything else is simply convenient rationalization of criminal behavior.
The solution is in re-evaluating and reforming the current policies, limits and procedures....as well as strict enforcement and harsh penalties for both illegals and the organizations which hire them.
We are ALL immigrants, or the children of immigrants. The only difference is, mine choose to ask permission first.
